I rode miserably in a 24 hour team race once; here's my cheat sheet on
how to do the same:

to collapse. There was no recovery...

revamping the old Coker (II: help from friends)

A friend of mine had a flat car tire. The hub was designed to use 4 lug
nuts, but his spare wheel required 5. Eventually a hammer solved this
problem. Called it a "metric conversion". Nice fix for...

monocycles at Beijing olympics

I think it's easier to violently suppress Tibetan independence while on
monocycles.

Well, I emailed the unicycle roster list for VA, I made a few posts on
Craigslist, I PM'd the riders on the unicom map, and I couldn't leave
the house without a pollution filter all weekend because...

Trials 19in or 24in???

I wouldn't take a 19" trials uni out on the trails unless I was only
going to walk to spots for natural trials. It's strong enough for the
obstacles, but not really large enough to ride a muni...

Torker LX vs. Nimbus II vs. Semcycle XL

This 'Qu-ax ' (http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=797)is on
sale for $225. Otherwise, I like the LX.

The stronger hill climbers I've seen always seem to use shorter cranks
and a constant "zippy" cadence for the ups. Or at least just a "zippy"
aggressive cadence, the terrain probably dictates the...

Evolution of Balance Award - the real announcement =)

I rode with a few of those guys at the "Lifestyles" race; they resembled
an unstoppable machine more than the title unicyclist would lead you to
believe, a sheer blur of dust and wheel.

Great idea,...

I'm using the ExiWolf 29" x 2.3" and a rough measurement across it is
28.5" (Salsa Delgado X rim, Nimbus II frame).

Edit: I took another measurement, it's a fat 28.5".

Contact Darren Bedford (based out of Toronto); anything he sells would
be decent.

Trials Comp/Muni ride - Richmond, VA

Hey Max, how attached are you to riding street on Friday? I was thinking
about scoping the rocks on Belle Isle for a bit and then heading into
the city once it gets dark... Either ways fine with me....

I'll have to ditch work early, but I'll probably be around on Friday.
